Julie Kogon (1918–1986) was an American lightweight boxer and world title contender from New Haven, Connecticut.
Kogon was ranked by Nat Fleischer's Ring boxing magazine as the tenth best lightweight in the world for July 1944 and later won the Connecticut Lightweight Championship in January 1947. He came extremely close to becoming the New York State Boxing Commission's World Featherweight Championship when he defeated reigning champion Petey Scalzo in October 1940, placing him as one of the top ten or better contenders for two weight classes in a seven-year period. In the 1940s, he defeated both the European and Italian lightweight champion. Most exceptional was his losing only once by knockout in 142 bouts.
